Quote:A new study from UBC Okanagan suggests that psychedelic drug use can lead to less domestic violence.The study, recently published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, anonymously surveyed the LSD and psilocybin mushrooms use of 1,266 people online, along with a questionnaire.The survey found that men who have used psychedelic drugs one or more times are half as likely to engage in “partner violence” than those who have not.“Although use of certain drugs like alcohol, methamphetamine or cocaine is associated with increased aggression and partner violence, use of psychedelics appears to have the opposite effect,” said Michelle Thiessen, lead author of the study.The new research builds on previous work from the university that found similar results from men in the criminal justice system.“Our new study is important because it suggests that these effects might also apply to the general population,” said Zach Walsh, the supervising author on the recent study.While the reasons for the correlation between psychedelic drug use and reduced partner violence is unclear, Thiessen theorizes that psychedelic drug use may help people manage negative emotions better.“These findings add to the literature on the positive use of psychedelics and suggest that future research should explore the potential for psychedelic therapies to help address the international public health priority of reducing domestic violence,” she said.

Turns out some drugs are good and need to be legalized!

Since cannabis in Canada is about to be legalized to protect our kids psychedelics should be legalized to reduce domestic violence. Ya I will vote Liberal again.

I think this domestic violence and psychedelic usage depends on personality. I mean like one is nonviolent not because of shrooms, but eat shrooms because of ones nonviolence beliefs.Yet I still think it is possible to become nonviolent person because of shrooms.

Yet you have to be a criminal that is break the law to use psychedelics. So by the same logic of personality a person who uses psychedelics would be more prone to breaking the law including violence. In my experience most people who use psychedelics do so to get high and have no preconceptions as to how it may change them.

I've seen nice people turn into animals with alcohol so maybe shrooms really does reduce peoples urges of anger by filling some need that is not being met in todays society. Who really knows eh?

I got more violent on psychedelics. I was smoking ganja all day and took 50 mushroom trips and was practicing martial arts all day. You start to make a lot of natural steroids and drugs and you become super powerful and no one is allowed to fuck with you. I roughed up my friend for not getting me the rent on time twice in a row. I fucked up this guy on the street and left him there. Now, 24 years later, I am the most nonviolent person in the world, and a lot of that is due to my practice of tai chi and the study of philosophy and religion. I hate the idea of hurting anyone.

If your 4 legal plants can be seen by anyone... You go to jail

If you are high on Cannabis in public you go to jail.

If you are deemed to be under the influence of Cannabis while driving you will have tour bodily fluids taken and tested and then your car gets impounded and you go to jail.

There are some serious constitutional issues here that are going to be a shitshow in the Supreme Court of Canada. In the mean time...

Legalization in Canada is a joke that will effect a lot of us in a negative way.

SAJLMFAO What a joke some people are listening to criminals who are loosing their cash cow. Reality check buddy the only people whining about legal weed are pathetic greedy assholes who don't care about the people still going to jail as long as they make their money.

Yup paranoid insecure fearmongering chicken littles are not all narcs.

FYI smoking in public is legal in BC but not in Quebec and nowhere is it illegal to be high as a fucking kite in public in Canada, while you might not be allowed to smoke it in public but you can still eat as much as you want.

FYI In BC you can grow four plants but out of public sight yet you can still show off your plants to anyone you like even take pictures and post them online if you like.

BTW 40 new offenses created by the liberals like changing the law so that 6 plants goes from a six month minimum sentence to a fine of $200 bucks I guess that must really upset you eh? WOW

Quote:Crispykoot said:I disagree. This government is about jailing people for Cannabis. They have jailed over many thousands of Canadians for weed since coming into office.

Also there is no room for micro licensing at this point. The government sets the retail price but the price of black market AAAA+ is 1000-1600 Canadian right now and dropping. Its set up to fail.

Watch. The court battles are where it's at. We'll get to something better but this is not legalization.

And the best thing is i get to laught at all the morons who said the cannabis bill will never pass. Yet today it does and next year i get to laught at all the morons who claim ending prohibition will fail just like it did with booze and that's why we all buy our booze in back allies right? SAJLMFAO

BTW I love people who say the government is evil, My god do you really believe that the Liberals or even the Conservatives are less moral then Nazis? As far as jailing people the Liberals like any party must change laws by writing new bills and that takes time to pass. I shocked at how ignorant people are on how our parliamentary system works.

Are you claiming conservatives want to make these things legal? What's your fucking point here? This is clearly just your cognitive dissonance causing you to make arguments which made no fucking sense to justify your warped world view.

Honestly, I don't see a problem with most of those things being illegal(not to mention, you seem to be very misinformed, or just straight making shit up, like going to jail for being high in public, and I am pretty sure you just face a fine for your plants being visible to the public, not jail time), maybe the reprecussions, but people shouldn't be driving while high on drugs, and many of them are concessions to those who are against any and all legalization.
